 Exhibit 10.1 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT 

This First Amendment to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2014 (this “Amendment”), is between
Santander Consumer USA Inc., as servicer (the “Servicer”), and Santander Drive Auto Receivables LLC, as seller (the “Seller”). 

WHEREAS, the Servicer, Santander Drive Auto Receivables Trust 2013-5, as issuer, the Seller, and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture
trustee, are parties to that certain Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2013 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto are entering in this Amendment to amend the Sale and Servicing Agreement to provide for, among other things, a
special payment of principal to the Holders of the Class A-2-B Notes. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time.

 SECTION 2. Amendments. 

(a) Section 4.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following clauses (f) and
(g) to the end thereof: 
 “(f) On the Business Day prior to the June 2014 Payment Date, Santander Consumer
ABS Funding 2 LLC, as sole Certificateholder, shall make (or cause to be made) a deposit to the Collection Account in the amount of $71,249,236.51 (the “Special Deposit Amount”), which shall evidence a capital contribution to the
Issuer by the Certificateholder. On the June 2014 Payment Date, the Special Deposit Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class A-2-B Notes in respect of principal thereof as provided in Section 4.4(a). For avoidance of
doubt, the distributions of principal to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.2(b) of the Indenture on the June 2014 Payment Date shall be calculated after giving effect to the payment of the Special Deposit Amount to the Class A-2-B
Noteholders. 
 “(g) On the Business Day prior to the June 2014 Payment Date, the Servicer shall make a deposit to the
Collection Account in the amount of $29,675.57. On the June 2014 Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such funds from the Collection Account and distribute (i) $7,000.99 to the Holders of the Class A-2-A Notes and
(ii) $22,674.58 to the Holders of the Class A-2-B Notes.” 







 (b) Clause (a)(14) of Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  

	 	(14)	fourteenth, sequentially, (A) solely on the June 2014 Payment Date, to the Holders of the Class A-2-B Notes in respect of principal thereof, an amount equal to the Special Deposit Amount, and thereafter
(B) for distribution to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 8.2(b) of the Indenture, the Regular Allocation of Principal, if any; 


(c) The following definitions set forth in Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their
entirety as follows: 
 “Available Funds” means, for any Payment Date and the related Collection Period, an amount equal to
the sum of the following amounts: (i) all Collections received by the Servicer during such Collection Period, (ii) the sum of the Repurchase Prices deposited into the Collection Account with respect to each Receivable that is to become a
Repurchased Receivable on such Payment Date, (iii) the Reserve Account Excess Amount for such Payment Date and (iv) solely with respect to the June 2014 Payment Date, the Special Deposit Amount. 

“Available Funds Shortfall Amount” means, as of any Payment Date, the amount, if any, by which the aggregate amount required
to be paid pursuant to clauses first through twelfth of Section 4.4(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement exceeds the Available Funds (calculated, for this purpose, without reference to, and excluding, the Special Deposit
Amount) for such Payment Date. 
 “Targeted Overcollateralization Amount” means, for any Payment Date, the greater of
(a) 19.98% of the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period and (b) 1.50% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Payment Date after the occurrence of a
Cumulative Net Loss Trigger (and regardless of whether the Cumulative Net Loss Ratio for any subsequent Measurement Date does not exceed the level specified as the “Trigger” in the Cumulative Net Loss Rate Table for that subsequent
Measurement Date), “Targeted Overcollateralization Amount” means the greater of (i) 25.00% of the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period and (ii) 1.50% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date.
